Naruto

Long ago, a demon fox with nine tails appeared. His tail was powerful enough to cause mountains to crumble and tidal waves to form with only a swing. The Shinobis fought long and hard to contain the demon until one Shinobi, Fourth Hokage, sacrificed his life to seal it. Onwards to the present: Naruto is the mischievous orphan of the Hidden Leaf Village who holds the dream that one day he will become greater than all the Hokage of the village. He seeks out attention wherever he can find it, but he is met with hostility by most of the villagers. Only Iruka-sensei shows him kindness, although Naruto is probably his worst student and is in danger of failing his graduation exam for the third time. On the day of Naruto’s graduation, Mizuki-sensei contrives a plot to steal Hokage-sama’s Scroll of Seals which includes several forbidden ninja techniques. That plot requires Naruto to break in and steal the Scroll and give it to him. When the villagers learn that Naruto has taken the scroll, Iruka-sensei goes after him and finds himself in the middle of the plot, where it looks as if Mizuki will take Iruka’s life to get his hands on the Scroll. Luckily Naruto has mastered one of the forbidden techniques and can use it to not only defeat Mizuki, but also graduate from the academy. Soon

Uzumaki Naruto
Arguably, Naruto has had a harder life than most; growing up without ever having any parents and constantly being ridiculed by his fellow villagers for the evil force that resides within him. Naruto is kept in the dark about his true identity for a long time and it is the rebel ninja, Mizuki, who finally reveals to him that he has the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox sealed within him. Despite all this, Naruto is a fun-loving individual who tends to get himself into trouble when he skips out of class to play pranks on people. His ultimate goal is to make everyone recognise his great power and acknowledge his existence. He plans to do this by becoming Hokage; the highest ranked ninja in Hidden Leaf Village. Though at times he may act like a clown, deep down Naruto is hurting and when necessary he is not just a mere child, but also a great warrior. Along the way Naruto encounters many people who influence him, but none more than his teammates, Sasuke and Sakura.

Uchiha Sasuke

Very unlike Naruto, Sasuke gives the impression of a very calm and collected individual. He is the last member of his clan and seeks vengeance for the deaths of his friends and family. All he knows is that the one he seeks has a peculiar eye, in fact the exact same kind of eye that you see when the Sharingan is used. Sasuke is the number one student in Hidden Leaf Village and far surpasses most of the other children in his class. He is part of Naruto’s group and though the two are rivals, clearly they share some form of bond and mutual respect for one another. The other group member, Sakura, never attempts to hide her affection for Sasuke, but he is not interested at all, even telling her that he find her annoying. Aside from his combat prowess, another of Sasuke’s great strengths is the way he keeps a cool head in battle and is able to analyse a situation before acting. This proves invaluable when the group is faced with fighting the Shinobi Haku.

Hatake Kakash
Kakashi is a powerful Jounin and a well-respected member of the Hidden Leaf Village community. He assists in the training of prospective ninjas and often exposes his tutees to near impossible tasks. In fact, the group of Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura is the only group to pass his test to become Genins. The head protectors issued to Genins can be seen worn in a variety of different manners and Kakashi chooses to wear his so that it slants diagonally across his left eye. We later discover that this is to hide his Sharingan eye; a powerful force that very few people have. After seeing them become the first to pass his tests, Kakashi takes on the responsibility of watching over Naruto’s group and continuing their training. On many occasions Kakashi is the only thing keeping the children from death, especially when they come across the fearsome duo of Zabuza and Haku. Kakashi seems like a very secretive ninja, yet he studies his pupils closely and understands what each is going through and the hurdles they must face in the near future.
